Wire Spine Bouquet

🌷 Created for the busy wedding florists and those who want to elevate their offerings! 🌷

My aim as an instructor is twofold: to encourage florists to see themselves as artists and give them the tools to create incredible, impressive work, and to challenge the larger culture to expect more from floristry and appreciate it as an artform. All of my classes are offered to help serve these aims and to help elevate the profession of floristry.

Wire Spine Bouquet is a class from the Artful Wedding Personals collection.

Using the Wire Spine technique, the designer creates a reliable and sturdy form, the “spine” that gives strength and shape to artful cascade bouquets. Sturdy wire is used to create the handle and body of the bouquet, and more delicate wire is attached to that, giving the designer attachment points to use to hold the floral elements. Create any form, size, and density you like! The Wire Spine will give your work stability and structure.

Innovative and impactful, yet approachable and easy to create, the Wire Spine Bouquet is an impressive jewelry-inspired bouquet armature that allows the designer to use minimal materials for maximum impact. This streamlined design features a strong brass wire spine with delicate extending “arms” that showcase each bloom perfectly. Lightweight and comfortable to hold, this sophisticated technique allows you to create stunning, sleek cascades that maintain their form throughout the event while using significantly fewer materials than traditional methods.

What You'll Learn:

  • How to select and form the perfect 12-gauge wire spine for stability and structure
  • Techniques for attaching wire arms at strategic points for balanced designs
  • Methods for securing different flower types to create floating, dynamic compositions
  • The art of creating a comfortable "umbrella hook" handle for easy carrying
  • Tips for incorporating a variety of focal blooms, such as calla lilies, tulips, and smaller supporting florets for maximum impact
